L'OUVERTURE DE BASKÈTS

On
Friday the 20th of April sneaker store Baskèts opened its
doors at the Elandsgracht in Amsterdam. Baskèts is not just a
sneaker store, it's a high-end sneaker store. Baskèts sells high-end
lines from Vans, Nike and Clarks, cool Amsterdam-based brands as
Etiquette Amsterdam and LocalsAMS and much more
awesomeness. And don't we adore high-end, limited, original and fresh
sneakers? Yes, we do!

Another
swaggy and panache addition to Amsterdam's cool fashion stores. One
with a good name: 'baskèts' simply means 'sneakers' in French slang.
I'm lovin' it! Owners Jeffrey Sluijzer and Daan de Greef did a great
job with the brands. Baskèts distinguishes itself from other sneaker
stores with their selection of exclusive brands. Sneakers at baskets
range from casual chic to sophisticated on trend. There is definitely
something (special) for every sneaker addict at Baskèts.

Not
only the brands, but also the interior is flying as well. The new
boutique looks amazing just as its 'clothing brother' Jefferson Hotel, situated next-doors. Interior designer Robin Sluijzer did a
great job again! With its clean white and light wooded walls, yet
with a bit of vintage freshness this store is a breath of fresh air.

To
celebrate its opening Baskèts let the elan invitees toast with
loveable Absolut Vodka cocktails. Always good on a Friday night,
don't you think? I sure do! The vibe was weekend-ish an the crowd got
fresh for the weekend.
